Ingredients
- 270 g bread flour
- 25 g skim milk powder
- 100 g milk

- 3 g salt

How to Make Soft Milk Bread
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, skim milk powder, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Add the milk, egg, and sweetened condensed milk.
Mix until all the ingredients come together and a rough dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface.
Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Add the softened butter gradually and continue kneading until it is completely incorporated.
Keep kneading until the dough becomes soft, smooth, and elastic.
3. First Rise
Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl.
Cover and leave in a warm, draft-free place until the dough has approximately doubled in size.
4. Shape the Bread
Gently press the air out of the risen dough.
Divide the dough into your desired portions and shape each piece into a smooth ball or loaf.
Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or baking tray, leaving enough space between the pieces for them to expand.
5. Second Rise
Cover the shaped dough and let it rise again until noticeably puffy.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
6. Bake
Once the dough has fully risen, place it in the preheated oven.
Bake until the bread is lightly golden on top and cooked through.
The exact baking time will depend on the size and shape of your bread.
7. Cool and Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or your favorite spread.
Helpful Tips
- Use room-temperature milk and egg for better dough development.
- Add the butter after the initial dough has formed.
- Knead thoroughly until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Avoid adding too much extra flour, as this can make the bread dense.
- Allow the dough to rise properly during both proofing stages.
- For an extra-soft crust, lightly brush the freshly baked bread with melted butter.
